Chapter 1170: Chapter 510: A Sword Against the Current of the Time River!_3

Immediately, that voice sounded again.

"You must be careful, that sword is the Immortal Venerable’s Sword, containing the power of time, forged from the sands of the Time River, possessing the power to traverse the ancient and the modern."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan instantly refocused his attention on Bai Qiu.

In his mind, the conversation had taken place; outside, it had been but a thousandth of an instant.

At this moment, a silver river circled around the silver sword case, Bai Qiu’s palm still gently resting upon it.

"The power of time? A sword forged from the sands of the Time River?" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes slightly solemn.

To have destiny itself descend to warn him to be cautious, he dared not take this lightly.

After all, this was the Immortal Venerable’s Sword.

And the Immortal Venerable ranked just below the Heavenly Lord within the third Great Realm of the Immortal Dao.

And just how powerful was the Heavenly Lord?

One could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg from the history of the Ancient Heavenly Court that he was aware of.

The overwhelmingly mighty Heavenly Emperor, the co-ruler of the Ancient Heavenly Court, presumably also existed on this level of the Heavenly Lord.

But at this moment, even if he took the situation seriously, there was nothing he could do.

Time was fleeting, and even if he wanted to improve, he had no starting point.

"I can only respond to myriad changes by not changing at all!" Jiang Yuan silently resolved.

...

Elsewhere.

Bai Qiu’s palm completed its sweep over the silver sword case.

At the moment his palm swept over the sword case, the case, sealed for countless years, was completely opened.

Huala—

The sound of flowing water reached everyone’s ears.

In this instant.

The pupils of all reflected a boundless and majestic Time River.

In front of this river, it seemed that they saw eons of time.

They saw countless historical records flash rapidly through their pupils.

"Time—River!" Dugu Bo uttered, word by word, his heart filled with extreme shock.

The moment the river appeared in his pupils, a profound dread arose in his heart.

This was the manifestation of the Time Power, a force that far surpassed him.

In the face of the Time River’s momentum, he felt as insignificant as a speck of dust, as minute as an ant.

It was a force completely irresistible.

Himself so-called powerful, in the presence of this force, would be engulfed in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Ji Hao was also extremely shocked.

"Is this the power of the Time River? Is this the supreme power of the Immortal Venerable?"

He murmured to himself.

A strong sense of powerlessness and frustration welled up in his heart.

In the moment he felt this power, he instantly found the Ji Clan’s plans over countless years laughably absurd.

In the face of such power, how could it possibly be contended with by human effort?

In the presence of absolute power, all schemes seemed as ludicrous as a clown’s antics.

"This force is clearly targeting Jiang Yuan! How can he resist it!" Ji Hao thought to himself, feeling a sense of despair.

If Jiang Yuan had a problem, that would mean the last hope was extinguished.

...

Simultaneously.

While Jiang Yuan’s mind was extremely solemn.

The indifferent yet ethereal voice sounded again.

"This sword, is to counter the flow of the Time River, to sever your past self with one strike!"

As the voice echoed.

Ong ong ong—

The sword case vibrated, and the grand sound of the sword chorus rose up at the same time.

"Sigh—" A sound as though it came from the Nine Skies, a female voice could be heard.

In the moment the sigh was heard, the vague image of a woman’s silhouette surfaced in the minds of countless individuals.

"Go—" The woman’s voice sounded again.

Although faint, this voice resonated in everyone’s ears.

"Long Su Immortal Venerable!"

"Long Su Immortal Venerable!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

"Mother!!"

The voices of true immortals rose, one after another, as they bowed their heads in respect.

And the Suan Ni Godson immediately cried out with tears streaming down his face.

The voice he had longed for night and day once again rang in his ears.

As the voice sounded.

A completely silver Long Sword flew out from the sword case, heading straight for Jiang Yuan, piercing through the air.

In an instant, it completely vanished from everyone’s sight.

...

"Kill me!!" A strong sense of crisis surged in Jiang Yuan’s heart, yet his eyes shone brightly.

Though the Long Sword had disappeared.

In Jiang Yuan’s vision, it hadn’t disappeared but appeared on the Time River, with the sword flowing upstream along the trajectory of his past.

Scenes from the past also rapidly flashed before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.

"This sword, aims to sever your past! To sever your past self, affecting your current self!" The indifferent voice of destiny once again sounded in Jiang Yuan’s mind.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan instantly understood.

The Immortal Venerable possessed the power to counter the flow of the Time River.

Their command over the Time Power was above his own.

This was a measure he currently could not counter.

With this realization, a heaviness settled in Jiang Yuan’s heart.

But then he harbored a faint glimmer of hope, silently wondering, "Then is there any way to counter it?"

"There is!" The voice immediately echoed in Jiang Yuan’s mind: "Severing your past self isn’t that simple!"

"As long as you touch the Time River and grasp the Time Power, as the sword strikes your past self, you can use the Time Power to briefly overlap your past and current selves."

"Thus, if your current strength can withstand this strike, your past self will not be harmed by this sword."

"Or, sever the connection between past and present, retract the timeline, so your past self cannot affect your current self."

"The latter requires a profound understanding of time."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s heart tensed, and he spoke again.

"That is to say, unless this strike can overwhelm my current strength, it can’t harm my past self, right?"

"Exactly!" The voice once again manifested in Jiang Yuan’s mind, then continued: "A strike across time contravenes the rules of Heaven and Earth, it’s not so simple!"

"Her action will even provoke the backlash of the Time River! This is the rule of Heaven and Earth, no one can defy it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s gaze sharpened.

"Understood! In that case, let me see just how strong the Immortal Venerable’s sword is!"

"To sever my past self, you must first get past me!"

A battle spirit surged within his heart; this was his first encounter with the power of the Immortal Venerable.

It was the perfect opportunity to test its depth!
